Work and do the Job or Get Out I once stated (and still feel the same way) that I am glad that I am on the way out of this world instead of on the way in. I feel sorry for those on the way in. What the hell are they going to inherit for their lifetime here I wonder.
Throughout my time I have spent most of it working for myself, or subcontracting my labour to another organisation, and working alone nonetheless either way. But I have also had those spells when working as `normal' for somebody else or a large company, so I know what it is like well enough. Working for myself I occasionally employed a few others, such in the case of having a few days off or going on holiday, but I was never sick so I never needed it for that reason. But even so I preferred doing it all myself, and did for most of the time. And worked like a bloody Trojan, and many hours a day. And whilst raising five kids and a fostered one. If I can do that then anybody can do that. However, if I had some kind of business or even a factory which employed others my attitude would be do the work as it has been proved it can be done, do it in reasonable time, do it without fuss and argument, or get out. Also, whilst doing all that, then get on with the people you are working with, and if you will not, then get out, even if you can do the job OK. It would make no difference at all if it were skilled work, semi skilled work or unskilled work, and no difference at all if they were local workers or immigrants, the attitude and rules would be the same. I would carry no malingerers or trouble makers. Is there anything wrong with that? Working civilisations do not come about by sitting on ones arse malingering and moaning and expecting a free ride from society and life itself. Man will not get out of the cave by sitting in it and doing nothing. It seems to me that the big problem today, with quite a number of people is the attitude of `let somebody else do it'. Added to this of course in this day and age is that there are far too many people chasing too few jobs. Also trades come and go as civilisation changes, so one adapts and learns new work. If they don't want to learn new work then they can get out too. The adaptable cut to the chase and get it done, the non adaptable are left behind. And rightly so. I too like the attitude of, `can do, will do, it will done; leave it with me'. A hard days work for the ticket to make the grade. Moaning Minnie's and layabout can sit weeping at the starting line. They will not be missed. The work done today, and the attitudes and dedication and hard work with which it is done, will make tomorrow, and so it goes. And it could not be any other way anyway. It is called reaping the harvest of what one sows. It has been fascinating to watch empires and civilisations come and go. There is no mystery about it. The sky's are looking a bit dark for the next few generations at least, unless they get a grip and get their collective act together. No malingerers will have to be the rule and done with zero tolerance whilst need be that way. In good times one can carry a few, in bad times one can not. In the affairs of man good times come and go, but both are down to themselves. Crying might be an outlet at times, but it never gets the job done. And instead of praying WORK ! No matter what job one does in life then give it one hundred percent of yourself, for ninety nine percent is NOT enough. That, is the Mystics Law. Do the job or get out. rwr
